Hi,

I get asked to do these types of effects all the time, and I think that there was something along these same lines on the last Adobe Suite packaging, but check out www.webex.com and there is this streak of light.

normally I can cobble something together, but this one is really eluding me. Any ideas?

THANKS!!
Dave

David:

There are some amazing tutorials online. And some real junk too, but if you’re used to cobbling something together, I’ll leave it to you to tell the difference.

Google it < http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q= streaks+of+light+photoshop&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>.

Veerle’s blog rocks:

yeah I tried googling it like crazy but never hit on that exact effect. I’m looking at the Veerle’s stuff now and it’s pretty close so maybe the client will bite on that.

THANKS!!

actually the effect I wanted to replicate is at webex.com and one of the google results you gave me actually worked pretty well:

BUT it ended up not working so well on white and we ended up just using blend shapes on 3 abstract curves in Illustrator like this:
